Croatia vs Albania LIVE: Euro 2024 latest after stunning Laci header

Brozovic with another effort that goes off-target, and moments later Gvardiol is dispossessed on the edge of the Albania box.

Albania are doing a great job of frustrating Croatia, keeping possession well in their half and winning clever free-kicks.

Strakosha does well to push away the cross from Modric, and then Mitaj does brilliantly to beat the first challenge, carry it out and then win the free-kick.

They counter with the long ball over the top again, but Manaj can’t bring it down as it comes over his shoulder.

Sutalo is the latest defender to do well to cut out the Albania through ball. So much space in the Croatian midfield, it’s like watching Manchester United.

Croatia are being stifled here as we pass the half-hour mark. Albania have scored and created the best chance since the goal too.

The World Cup semi-finalists are lacking a cutting-edge so far.

CLOSE! So close to a second for Albania.

They counter after Modric gives it away in midfield. Asllani is making the run towards goal and it’s threaded through to him, but the midfielder hits it too close to Livakovic after trying to give him the eyes and slot it in at the near post.

Almost a great chance for Albania! It’s almost a carbon copy of the goal, as Asani whips it in and Laci has got in between the centre-backs, but it’s headed away.

It falls to Hysaj on the edge of the box, but he can’t keep his half-volley on target.

Brilliant play from Manaj as he manages to take the ball down and then win a free-kick under pressure from Sutalo.

Nothing comes from the free-kick, before Ramadani wins a throw deep into the Croatia half. Some respite for Albania.

Majer swings in an early cross from the right and Petkovic has ghosted between the two defenders, but he can only direct his header over the bar.

Croatia are pressing very high in their attempts to get an equaliser; a little bit more quality and Albania would’ve been clean through on more than one occasion.

It’s Croatia with all the possession at the moment though. 66 per cent of it to be exact.

Croatia continue to pile on the pressure but the break is always on for Albania. This time, Asllani hooks a pass to Bajrami, who’s made the overlapping run.

It’s a straight foot race to get one-v-one, but the defender slides in to win it. Croatia go down the other end and Brozovic has an effort from the edge of the box, but he drags it well wide.
